“The golden era of 3D home movie releases”
The era was never golden. Most people did it a handful of times, got a headache, and never did it again.
I thought Men in Black were awesome in 3D. I don’t understand why more movies were not released in that format
IMAX 3D was impressive. Regular cinemas with 3D movies, meh.
The Ghost in the Shell movie in VR is jaw dropping. The 3d effects work beautifully.
It’s so silly that these days they are still making the 3d movies for theatres but just not releasing them on streaming services.
It would be a major competitive advantage and something I would use fairly often if I could just open the Netflix or Disney+ app and watch some 3d movies on my PSVR2. I love laying and watching movies in VR when I’m tired but not ready to sleep. 3d would be an additional draw.
I’d honestly be down to buy a VR headset if movies otherwise used them in some sort of universal format. Definitely not buying Samsung/Sony/Paramount/Meta VR bullshit though.
Yeah it would be nice to get Movies Anywhere or something fully on board. All the movie studios are sitting on 3D movies already, they just need to make the app(s).
It sorta partially is. On Apple’s movie store you get the 3D version with the HD/4K version. So if your movies anywhere unlocks the HD/4K it should unlock the 3D too. As long as the publisher has put the 3D version up there. And many did as a result of the Vision Pro.
I have a bunch of 3D movies available on my Vision Pro, and I’ve never specifically bought one in 3D. Many came from digital codes.
Apple has the largest collection of 3D movies right now.
The thing is, new content with proper 3D isn’t being made much these days. I’d estimate Apple has the bulk of what exists available already.
Edit: where am I wrong here?
I think I’d like more engagement though to really commit. Be able to turn my head and see more of the scene. Stand up and view a slightly different angle.
All of the tech exists to make this possible, I just don’t know if filmmaking can work that into the mix.
There’s an app I got for Plex for my Meta Quest 3 and I gotta say that it is top notch. They have a bunch of settings for how you’d like your environment to look like but I prefer the one that makes you feel you’re at the movies and it really does feel that way.
Not sure if that’s what you were getting at or not but I enjoy it when I’m out and about instead of using my iPad or iPhone.
Downside is that you need to sideload this which requires a Meta developer account (free, just unnecessary hassle) as far as I know. Other is that it requires Plex and not the native Netflix/etc. app. Though YouTube has a similar format in their official app.
I watched Avatar (the one about blue alien Indians) in 3D, had terrible nausea through all the time, but since I watched it with my grandma, a memory.
Seeing Spy Kids 3D in the theatre as a child was wild af.
I think I saw that at Disney World as a kid as my first 3D experience.
Well shit. I missed out on VR.
I have a psvr, but only one company makes an app you can watch your own files on. And they charge $30 for the app.
But then they say “no porn”.
Well then I’m not buying your overpriced VR app!!! Why do you think I was even looking in the first place??? I was going to download some porn files in VR, and then watch it them through a usb stick in the ps4 on your app! But noooooooooooo. You hate money! Asshole!
Sorry. Not you. I was talking to the app.
You have to use the one linked to your Facebook account and share your porn history with Zuck.
Valve index, pimax, vive, varjo?
Everyone’s out here acting like the two options are the quest or the psvr, there are tons of headsets out there, especially if all you want to do is jork it
I don’t even HAVE a facebook account.
Don’t need one to share with zuck. He’s already scraped all of your comments on lemmy too
Just embrace being horny on main. :) Unless you’re American. Then instead of you coming, they’ll be coming for you in the next 4+ years.
I bought the psvr2 and module to hook it up to my pc but watching vr stuff in general isn’t easy a you would think.
I tried some vr stuff on YouTube but I can’t seem to get it to work. People suggest downloading the movie and use apps but I just want to click the video and stream it.
Same on pornhub, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I had better results with my s7 with the vr goggles…
I think there is specifically a YouTube 3D. Maybe it’s an app. I was pretty unimpressed by most of the VR stuff. Blurry and distorted. Rollercoasters are fun. Nature documentaries would be neat but the quality is so low you can’t really see much detail, just the grand vistas.
I personally find VR porn really meh. I want to like it, but again it’s blurry - especially when they shove genitals in your face and your eyes can’t focus, and you have this really awkward view of someone simulating oral sex that just hurts your eyes, and it’s not even as stimulating as it would be to watch someone else doing it from a reasonable distance. At least for me.
That said, all my shit is a few years old and maybe the resolution and frame rates are better with newer stuff than oculus 2, but I think VR works better with simple shapes than video. Beatsaber is a great experience in VR and there are some similar rail shooters but most everything else has been disappointing.
Minecraft should’ve been fun but it made me sick. Skyrim VR was pretty fun. Especially because you could still mod it, but again the resolution and frame rate are too low for the level of detail in the game.
Not too late. Depending on your stance with Meta though.
I purposefully missed out. I think it’s gimmicky in it’s current state.
